FEATURES

These Attwood Stainless Steel Vertical Sidelights provide 2 Nautical

Mile visibility and are designed for boats up to 20 meters/65.6 feet.

The housing is corrosion-proof and the base gasket forms a seal

between the lens and deck for easy, water-resistant installation.

Lights meet USCG CFR 183.810, ABYC A-16 requirements, and all

applicable standards as tested by Immana Labs, 7/28/2003. Lights

use 8-watt festoon lamp, Attwood Part No. #9230 (13-volt) or #910409

(24-volt). See chart above for voltage.

REQUIRED FOR INSTALLATION

• Phillips screwdriver

• Cordless drill; 7/64" (#32 drill) and 3/8" (3 and 10mm) bits

• Three #6 pan head stainless steel tapping screws (not included)

• Marine-grade non-silicone sealant

• 16-gauge wire and waterproof crimp connectors

INSTALLATION LOCATION

Before drilling mounting holes, position sidelights on a surface

of the gunwale or deck where you are certain that sidelights:

• Are equal distance from the bow (Figure 1)

• Shine straight ahead

• Shine within 5° of horizontal when the boat is floating

• The light beam is not obstructed

Place lights with the red lens on the port (left) and green lens on

the starboard (right). Be sure there are no obstructions at the front

or side within the light’s arc of visibility (112.5 degrees each side).

INSTALLATION

1. To access light base mounting holes, remove exterior screw and

stainless steel or plastic lens helmet. (Figure 2)

2. Remove lens screw and colored lens. Save screws, helmet, and

lens for reinstallation.

3. Place light in position as shown in Figure 1.

4. Hold base with “FRONT” arrow pointing forward.

Important: Before drilling, be sure that light will shine straight ahead

and within 5° of horizontal when boat is floating.

5. Use base as a template to mark location of three mounting holes

and a center hole for wire access.

CAUTION

Position wire access hole carefully, especially on aluminum boats,

so that wires do not contact the hull.

6. Drill 3/8" (10mm) diameter hole for wire access and three 7/64"

(3mm) diameter holes for mounting screws. (Figure 2).

7. Bring one 16-gauge (+) and one (-) wire up through access hole.

DO NOT connect these wires to power until you read FINAL

WIRING INSTRUCTIONS (Figure 3)

8. Connect wires using waterproof crimp connectors.

9. Fasten light to deck with three #6 stainless steel screws. DO NOT

OVERTIGHTEN screws.

10. Replace lens over base. Replace lens screw.

11. Replace helmet over lens. Replace helmet screw.

FINAL WIRING INSTRUCTIONS

Use ONLY the rated voltage (see chart above). All positive wires

must be protected by a 1-amp fuse. Higher voltage or failure to make

proper wire and fuse connections will void the product warranty. Use

crimp type marine-grade connectors with suitable insulation. Protect

all connections with suitable materials.

1. Neatly thread wires to the switch, avoiding areas where abrasion

or snagging may occur.

lights. Attach wires with crimp-on butt joint connectors. Test lights

for proper operation.

MAINTENANCE

To replace lamp: Remove the helmet and lens (Figure 2). Use small

slotted screwdriver to pry old lamp out of terminals. Replace with the

proper festoon-base lamp: Attwood #9230 (12-volt), or #910409
